Bread of Life
… it has been a very humbling experience to see the courage and love with which the dancers of Springs Dance Company gave themselves to this wonderful, very Christian project of the dance.

Following on from the success of Living the Eucharist choreographed by Suzannah McCreight in 2008, Springs Dance Company is delighted to announce that this stunning performance will be available to churches and Cathedrals in October 2010 under the new title of Bread of Life.
The show is danced ‘in-the-round’ by a company of five dancers and is created to challenge, unravel and celebrate the heart of the Eucharist tradition – the taking of bread and wine. As Jesus puts out the invitation to come and share, there are various responses which unravel a journey from distance to closeness. The building of community and, quite literally, the building of a table portray the heart of the Christian tradition. In this meal shared and prepared for us, the presence of Jesus at the table reflects his presence throughout our lives.
This thoughtful and uplifting new show will be a delight for both congregation and visitors alike.
